Get your Brainy Bag

As part of our services for children affected by brain tumours, we've developed 'The Brainy Bag' containing treats for children and useful resources for their families and carers.

The contents of The Brainy Bag can help parents, carers and healthcare professionals alike to address some difficult emotions a child diagnosed with a brain tumour may be feeling.

Brainy Bags are available for all children and young people with a brain tumour diagnosis in the United Kingdom. Each bag is slightly different as it includes items appropriate to the age of the child.

What's in the bag?

Colouring in, cuddling a teddy or playing a game can help to reduce a child's anxiety and help them open up about their thoughts and feelings in a way in which they feel safe.

We hope that it can bring a smile to a child's face and also provide them with things to do during hospital stays, visits and time at home.
